movement exercise is no longer the main purpose of playing basketball more important is to earn much money with nba which represents the highest level basketball of the world entered into china since 1987 basketball sports has started to spread in china day and day but with the improvement and development of the competitive level of basketball the domestic local basketball players have been unable to meet the needs of the development level of basketball thus a large number of international basketball players began to enter the domestic market along with their entering it brought a series of problems and one of them is communication in this situation the translation of basketball plays an important role this article focuses on the english translation of term of basketball and the author tries to find out the influence of translation of english term of basketball on the basketball game 2 english translation 2 1 definition of translation translation refers to conversion of meaning from one language to another language simply put it is an art of reproducing the author s exact idea by means of another language from the original according to the above definition of translation author knows that the original thought of the expression should be retained as far as possible nothing should be added or taken away from the original work therefore two essential elements should be involved in translation accuracy and expressiveness accuracy is the first indispensable quality of translation a translator should prudently adhere to the author s idea which means that the diction selected and syntactic structure must convey the exact original thought expressiveness is to make the translation readily understood in other words the translator 成都信息工程学院银杏酒店管理学院本科毕业论文 2 must express the author s idea as clearly and as forcibly as translator can by the medium translator employs accuracy is to make the translation definite and exact while expressiveness is to make the translation vivid and attractive there are many kinds of definitions of translation with regards to translation people can not simply define as a kind of language of another kind of form with the development of translation theory and practice translators are on the translation of the continuous generation of new knowledge different translators and translators in different periods of translation are also different interpretations of the concept which explain the strengths and weaknesses while others are more comprehensive and some are more one sided giving an accurate definition of translation is a thorny issue at present there are many kinds of definitions and here are some typical definitions zhangpeiji thinks that translation is an activity of language which uses one language to express contents of another language accurately and completely zhangpeiji 1921 caiyi thinks that translation is a language used to convey the information expressed in another language caiyi 1927 fengqinghua believes that translation is a kind of activity in many languages it is in a language form to another form of language where the contents of the re shown by the language of practical activities translation is an art is a re creation of language arts fengqinghua 1958 catford a famous english translation theorist believes that the definition may be translated this way put the chapter materials in a language in the chapter material in another language to be replaced translation consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source language message first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style eugene nida 1914 2 2 the word feature of translation of basketball to use ordinary indefinite tense instead of simple past tense in order to express more vividly and effectively for example the final score is 98 to 82 in the whole game rockets beat lakers 55 to 50 at first half to use passive sentences express active significance in general when an appropriate action is issued there is no need to be mentioned or it is difficult to say people who want to emphasize the use of action of bearer for example he got a nice ball to use the imperative sentences frequently and simple language is necessary for 成都信息工程学院银杏酒店管理学院本科毕业论文 3 example well saved 漂亮的救球 good shot 好球 though these sentences have no subject it expresses the meaning clearly so there is no problem to understand in general the imperative sentences are so short that the recipient of language can not be understood the meaning clearly 2 3 the function of translation the communication is the main function of english translation of basketball firstly translator must understand coach s meaning and then translators express the coach s meaning to players clearly let the players understand the coach s requirements and execute tactical better on the pitch and play their competitive level effectively on the other hand good translation can make foreign and local players communicate with each other better and make them cooperate better on the pitch for example translation can make foreign and local players know how to confirm their own positions and what they should do in the pitch 3 the characteristics of the words translating basketball games 3 1 words of being lively in the translation of basketball the words used are lively interesting and vivid for example pick it usually means selecting one from many things but in the english term of basketball people translate cover it means attacking players standing on one side or standing behind enemy defensive players to hinder defensive players and press people usually translate use hands or something push something down in the english term of basketball people translate tight defensive it includes full court press half court press zone press one man press and two man press there are many similar examples in the translation of english term of basketball these words are vivid and they make the translation of english term of basketball express more accurately 3 2 rich in compound words there are many compound words in english term of basketball these compound words not only make the english term of basketball richer but also break through the bound of basketball english such as free throw when the foul will be appeared in game it s free throw time and away game a basketball team goes to other city to play game this situation we call away game the common meaning of free agent is an agent of institution 成都信息工程学院银杏酒店管理学院本科毕业论文 4 in basketball english it means a player who his contract expires also means this professional player not bound by contract there are two kinds of free agent unrestricted free agent and restricted free agent behind the back in basketball game this words have two meanings one means when one player dribbles he hides his ball behind his body in order to avoid the defense another means pass the ball behind his body in order to the ball not to be stole and in common translation this word just means behind somebody this kind of compound word not only so short that players can understand clearly in competitive game it not only avoids long words wasting time but also reduces translators pressure and makes players can understand better so the compound words are very important in basketball game 3 3 short terms of words the words of basketball english is a kind of special vocabulary many simple words have specific meaning in basketball english such as tie the common meaning of tie is knotting something but in english of basketball tie means the game s score is the same words are very short in the translation of english term of basketball the feature is that it is intend to use less word as far as possible to express complicated meaning in the translation of english term of basketball and make player understand couch s arrangement quickly in competitive game for example charging foul means when you are dribbling you are hitting the opposite player at the same time double team means that using two players to defense a player in the game coaches just use these words to express his meaning chest in common translation it means a part above the waist and below the neck of our body but in basketball translation it means pass the ball before this part this kind of short can save the time and let the information of coaches and players transfers quickly 4 the influence of the translation of english terms of basketball on basketball game 4 1 elements which influence the translation 4 1 1 the interpreters language ability to solve the problem of communication of between foreign players and local players in matches and trainings is the main purpose of club the continuity of the basketball training 成都信息工程学院银杏酒店管理学院本科毕业论文 5 process and specialization of technical requirements requires that translators should be quick accurate and efficient in language transformation especially in the game the translation should be highlighted more effectively and accurately then foreign players just can improve their execution and play their competition effectively otherwise it may cause the club s unnecessary losses so translators level is very important for club most english translators have bilingual ability but the masters degrees are relatively few and lack the ability of good oral and written expression some translators have never take part in basketball game before and they are more likely to make mistakes when translators translate some technical terms of basketball game terms and the pronunciation of translator is not standard and often make player can not understand clearly 4 1 2 no standardized management the translation of english term of basketball is a new career from the training qualified certifications to obtain employment is the system of choosing an eligible translator of english terms of basketball currently there aren t any special training institutions which can help choose the translation talents who accord with the requirements of basketball club so it lacks the resource of professional basketball english translation talents on the other hand there aren t any special administrative departments managing the english translators of basketball club there are also no relevant service standards and qualified evaluation system in basketball management institution this situation makes clubs are lack of effective way when they find translators 4 1 3 no translation training of basketball terminology ensuring proper training and correct translation of basketball game is the core of club work so club s translators must know the sports english and basketball english very well they also must be familiar with the basic terms of basketball sports generally speaking not only they need the ability of listening speaking reading writing and translation but also they should be able to deeply understand the various tactics terminology and truly comprehend the tactical intentions in terms of language expression so if club can t grasp this it is difficult to finish the job the translation of english term of basketball is a new career due to starting late the development of this career is relatively immature the translators work ability of this field 成都信息工程学院银杏酒店管理学院本科毕业论文 6 will be influenced by actual work experience the investigation of researchers found that the professional basketball translators only worked 2 years on average so it is unavoidable to lack work experience compare with the other industries this will affect their working level if translators make mistakes at the last moment of pitch or they don t know terminology well there are many mistakes and can t communicate swimmingly it is not accurate the meaning that some translators expresses between players and coaches it is different between english translators and sports professional translators now more foreign coaches come to local basketball club the club also needs foreign coaches to communicate with local coaches and players through sports professional translators if foreign coaches need players to practice the tactics of half court press but translator translated half press players will be confused so sports professional translators are important to team author thinks that if there is a serious mistake in the translation it may affect results of competition or lose game 4 2 results of translator s mistakes 4 2 1 tactical chaos of basketball coach is a leader of a team coach s words and tactic is order translator is a person who conveys order to foreign players if the translators have no good level they can not express couch s meaning clearly and then players can not executive couch s tactics very well on the other hand foreigner players must communicate with local players not only in the game or training but also in life the communication must be helped by translators so a unqualified translator can make foreign players and local players appear turnovers frequently and not trippingly cooperate with each other because they can not communicate with each other very well 4 2 2 success or failure of competition the result of tactics chaos is losing the game at a critical moment for example at the key moment in the game coach needs players to use the tactical of full court press but translator translates it to the foreign players as half court press finally due to the foreign player s mistake makes club lose the game after losing the game the players probably will blame each other then the harmony of a team may be damaged coach will lose trust to foreign players in today s society basketball has developed into a purely commercial movement so the game is related to club s profit if players lose the game the club will 成都信息工程学院银杏酒店管理学院本科毕业论文 7 suffer a loss so a good translator can not only directly affect the players but also can indirectly affect the game as well as the club s business 5 conclusion it can be seen that a translator of english term of basketball can affect the players and the achievement of club through analyzing author thinks that if somebody needs to be a good english translator of basketball term not only the translators must have good english foundation but also have much knowledge of basketball so a good transl
